Document keys ? #178

Open gnzlbg opened 6 years ago

gnzlbg commented 6 years ago

I am giving the editor a try and was trying to find key sequences to move around, open files, search forward/backward, replace, etc - I am familiar with both vi and emacs and nothing I tried worked, and I have not been able to find any docs. I haven't been able to show any sort of powerline / minibuffer / ... to explore the editor either.

Maybe add a small section to the readme explaining how to do basic things with the editor ?

By and large, the mac client attempts to implement the standard Apple/Cocoa key bindings; a comprehensive list of those are here (particularly the section titled 'Document Shortcuts') although we don't implement them all.

Maybe this could be added to the readme? :)

Including all shortcuts and their subtle variations would be way too much for the readme IMHO. Not to mention that it works pretty much like every other GUI text editor on macOS.

That said, a command palette like in Atom/VSCode/Sublime/Blender would be neat.
